Hydrogeology Challenge

The Hydrogeology Challenge was originally created as a Science Olympiad event, but has wider applicability as a learning tool that introduces students to basic groundwater modeling concepts.

Additional Resources

  • Use the Hydrogeology Challenge outside of Science Olympiad and in your classroom with this Teacher's Guide.

  • The Hydrogeology Challenge is the official groundwater computer model for the Science Olympiad Event: Hydrogeology. This page will provide practice scenarios to prepare for Part II of the event. It is intended as a learning tool to introduce students to basic groundwater modeling concepts.

  • This 10-minute video will take you step by step through running the Hydrogeology Challenge.

  • Use this table to study common groundwater contaminants.

  • A jointly developed guide to techniques and technologies for soil, groundwater and surface water. Event supervisors should use this to create the remediation table in Part III and students and coaches can use this resource to prepare for competitions. The name of each technique or technology is a link to more details and further information about it including effectiveness and estimated costs.

  • Check out this lesson plan for how to run the Hydrogeology Challenge.

  • Use this table to study common groundwater remediation techniques.
